happy birthday shailey!

I can't believe she's already 6! How time flies!

She started off her day with a phone call from Cinderella (courtesy of Disney's Enchanted Calls). After that (and spending about an hour at school) we took Shailey to Disneyland. She got to pick out everything that we did. The boys were troopers. :o) We met Tinkerbell and her fairy friend, Fawn. We met Jasmine, Fairy Godmother and Cinderella. And we shopped in the most princessey places we could find. We got to see the new Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough (which scared Eli a little). We also took her to the Tortilla Factory in California Adventure where she got her own bag of yummy tortillas (they do that on your birthday--by the way, she ate the entire bag herself!). And we also went to see Turtle Talk with Crush where Crush talked to her for awhile. She was named "Shellin' Shailey" this time. It's always fun to go to that show. :o)

Since we had signed up for Disneyland's Birthday Club (and since we are already annual passholders) Shailey got a Birthday Fun Card (basically a gift card) in the amount of $59 to spend on whatever she wanted! She bought Princess Mickey Mouse ears and got her name stitched on the back, she bought a Tinker Bell play set, and being the sweet sister that she is she bought the boys swords. :o) She still has $14 left on the card. We thought it had to be all used up that day but after asking four different cast members (hey, we wanted to be positively sure!) they said it doesn't expire. So next time we go she can buy something else.

So aside from the fact that she threw up unexpectedly on our drive there (that's a whole other story), and we had to make a stop at Target to buy a new outfit for her, she had a great day! You can see some of the fun that we had while we were there!
